LEGO Classic Creative Building Set (10702) Review

February 12, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

At the beginning of the year, LEGO released a new Creative Building Set (10702) to complement their line of Classic sets. Upon looking at the box and the pieces that are included, it reminds me of when I was a kid myself when I just had a box of basic bricks and building random stuff with my dad. Now as a father myself, I get to pass that same concept of building using only our imagination with what is given in the set.

The contents of the box include four numbered bags, a bagged Thanos, a sticker sheet, a comic, and the instructions.

LEGO Dimensions Doctor Who Cyberman Fun Pack (71238) Review

January 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Continuing with another review of the LEGO Dimensions wave 3 sets that were recently released, I have in hand the Doctor Who Cyberman Fun Pack (71238). This expansion pack consists of 40 pieces and retails for $14.99. The box consists of two un-numbered bags and the minifigure instructions.

Minifigure

There is only one legit minifigure in this Fun Pack and that is the Cyberman which is based off the 2013 design. The torso has lots of gray and dark gray printing on both sides and also continues down to the legs while the whole minifigure itself is of a pearl silver color. The head is a new mold with the handles on top of the head and the tear drop printing for the eyes.

In-game, the Cyberman has many abilities including swimming, mind control, hacking, drone, x-ray vision, and silver blowup so it’s a pretty versatile character to use.

Build

The building part of the set is the Dalek. There are three different builds for the Dalek which include the regular version, the Fire ‘n Ride Dalek, and the Silver Shooter Dalek. Again, LEGO doesn’t provide the instructions in the box to build it but you can find them online.

For the regular Dalek, it has the distinct shape of the cyborg. For the top portion, there is a printed dome piece with a trans-blue eyestalk. In the midsection, you have a telescope piece representing the gunstick and an antenna for the manipulator arm. Finally for the bottom part, you have the skirt structure … Continue

LEGO Star Wars Buildable Figures Captain Phasma (75118) Review

January 11, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakes Buildable Figures Captain Phasma (75118)

In the beginning of the year, LEGO released some new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets including the new wave of Buildable Figures sets. This includes some of the main characters in the movie including Captain Phasma (75118). The set has 82 pieces and retails at $24.99. The higher price is slightly justified by some of the items which I’ll explain a little later. The contents of the box include two un-numbered bags, a bagged cape, a loose torso frame, and the instructions booklet.

LEGO Creator Parrot (30472) Polybag Review

January 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you were able to pick up the LEGO 2016 Wall Calendar last November/December, there were some coupons that you could redeem at LEGO Brand Stores this year for some promotional items. From January 1-March 31, you can get a FREE 43-piece Parrot (30472) polybag with any purchase, while supplies last.

The Parrot is very simple build with you just stacking bricks up. There is some articulation in the build with the tail being on a hinge so it can move up and down. The wings are on the newer ball joints and so you can rotate them in plenty of directions.

The Parrot (30472) is a middle-of-the-road polybag. It is kind of cute but nothing else beyond that. Since it is free with any purchase, especially will all the newly released sets, it’s a decent pick up. If you don’t have a coupon to redeem it, the building instructions are now available online so you can create your own.
